Digicore to provide vehicle monitoring systems for BHP Builliton's operations
DigiCore has secured a three year agreement to provide In-Vehicle Monitoring
Systems (IVMS) and associated support, reporting and management services for
BHP Billitons global operations.
DigiCore, which has operations in 31 countries, will supply its C-track IVMS and
associated equipment and services to BHP Billitons operations on a global
basis.
DigiCore's C-track offers IVMS services that include the ability to control vehicle
access, monitor driver behaviour, create fleet management reports and actively
warn the driver of any behavioural breech.
Pre-determined areas can also be set for each vehicle operation per driver and
'Geo-Fencing' technology is used to provide easy-to-use information at site level.
The C-track GPS/GPRS system records detailed accident reconstruction data. It
also enables the manager to activate or disable certain features in the vehicle,
like speed governors, vehicle headlamps, revolving or flashing lights as they
enter pre-determined localities. If a vehicle is involved in any incident, the system
provides a user-friendly report on all aspects being monitored by the IVMS.
'The selection as BHP Billiton's IVMS supplier is really a feather in our cap
particularly after the grueling selection process. We are looking forward to
working with BHP Billiton to ensure they achieve their increased driver safety
standards throughout the world and as a bonus reduce the fleet's running costs"
says DigiCore's CEO Nick Vlok.
"As a South African company we are proud to be delivering world class solutions
to a global giant like BHP Billiton" says Bruce Richards, Managing Director
